A basecamp in Scarborough and a stunning coastal & moorland challenge, which you can take it on at your pace as a walk, jog, or run – and fundraise for Refuge!
The route heads around the town and then north on the Cleveland Way, with a stunning coastline up through Robin Hood Bay and onwards to Whitby, and a welcome halfway 50km stop. For full 100km challengers, it’s along the Esk Valley before heading south into classic moorland scenery, and back to Scarborough basecamp.
Sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping & transfers, a special medal, T shirt and celebration finish. With 50km, 25km & 10-mile options also available – there’s a challenge for everyone!

Why choose Refuge?
1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse in her lifetime.
One woman is killed by an abusive partner or ex every five days, on average.
Refuge provides a range of life saving services to help rebuild the lives of women and their children, free from fear and violence. We make sure the experiences of survivors are at the heart of our work and help amplify their voices. Our specialist staff understand the diverse and complex needs of those experiencing abuse and we are experts in the dynamics of domestic abuse and gender-based violence.
Domestic abuse and violence against women and girls will only end when we create gender equality. Refuge is a feminist organisation striving for inclusivity and equality and our feminism is intersectional. Every day we work extensively and closely with survivors of domestic abuse, ensuring their diverse and varied experiences and needs are central to everything we do. We are committed to a world where domestic abuse and violence against women and girls is not tolerated, and where women and children can live safely.
